    June 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 194th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    Guild of Messengers Website

    Korov’ev reported (again) on the loss of the Guild of Messengers 3.2 news site, and addressed a few stopgap measures. Of course, as you’re reading this, the 4.0 website is now online 😄

    1. The community calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid. The calendar is also available at UruTunes. Bitly-based short URL versions are also available: US, EU, UK, RU, JP.
    2. Raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that) are available from Korov’ev’s Dropbox folder, but perhaps saving them in a wiki or forum could be a better option.
    3. The tutorials about MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux are mirrored in the Guild of Writers wiki; this also allows anyone to update and fix these tutorials, as they may have fallen behind the latest developments.
    4. Rel.to admin login depended on the GoMe website, so the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable at this point.

    OpenUru

    ☛ Several additions have been pushed from Minkata Alpha to Prime, to be included in the next update: a new desk and decoration updates to Chiso Preniv; the ‘V2’ Release of the Messengers Pub, including the Mysterium wing with some interesting artworks by the Committee; a small update to Naybree, just a little quality of life update that hopefully should stop the glowing things from sinking beneath the waves; possibly Gahreesen Wall audio retakes, to replace the slightly caustic ones that currently play.

    ☛ One of the next Ages to be added will be Pod 56, aka Jalargura, by Semjay, one of the entries of the 2025 RAD contest. The pod was deposited in an empty desert and used by the D’ni as an observation post. Over time, it caught the attention of an indigenous population. The pod became an object of devotion and worship and a large temple was built around it. Eventually the occurrence of movement and light within the pod ceased, the indigenous people lost interest and drifted away. The city was abandoned and the desert reclaimed the city, engulfing it in sand.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The deadline for booking a hotel room at the Mysterium rate is Monday, June 15, so hurry if you haven’t booked your room yet! If you’re looking for a roommate for your stay, check the #looking-for-people channel on the Mysterium Discord server.

    ☛ Cyan’s State of presentation will be hosted in person, by Hannah Gamiel and Eric A. Anderson!

    ☛ The schedule for the convention (to be held on July 24–26) is now available; there will be a panel about Descent, moderated by Murry and including Tweek, Ametist, and Calum Traveler.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for June–July is “Matchmaker”. Entries for the “Sunset” prompt for May were from Calum Traveler and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. This month she made the classic dessert, rhubarb fool. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    ☛ IwonK is taking a break from her Wonky Talks to focus on her school assignments. She will get back to streaming sometime in July, depending on how the finals go. In the meantime, she is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    She is also still working with Kefrith on the Mysterium-like online event, provisionally named “Rivenium”. They are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

    ☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

    ☛ Babbel is on holiday, so PodHopper will will host for her. The next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura will be on Monday 15 at 12:00 KIT. The theme will be “German Composers”.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club is back from the May hiatus, and will meet in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin on July 18 at 12:30 KIT to discuss three novellas: “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson, “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang, and “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    ☛ Brooketh presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome, regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.

    On the Open Cave shard, Ayohiker holds an analogous event every Monday at 14:00 KIT in the Ayohikers’ hood. There are also new games in the City of Dimensions: Tic-Tac-TOC and Connect Four.

    ☛ PodHopper is preparing two events for the summer: Celtic Night and Summerfestival. Planning is still in the early stages, so there are no fixed dates or themes yet. Suggestions or volunteers are as usual welcome.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check the calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Mevvah completed the final exam and passed the D’ni 101 class; votahret ah’shem khebahrtahtahvom! Mevvah’s instructor was Augur, who has taught his first complete 101 class. And this was also shokhootahn Ana’s first foray into mentoring a new student teacher – Augur of course – so she mentored him as he was teaching Mevvah!

    Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the last stories from the game Myst IV: Revelation. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

    Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary 😉

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
    • For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
    • On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    Miscellanea

    ☛ This month, the Age Expeditions in Deep Island will conclude the visit to the Geologica Ages, then will investigate the pyramid of Oolbahnneea. In The Open Cave, they will go back to Gahreesen and Kadish Tolesa.

    That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!
    May ended with the CavFunding at 45% (CavCon 2.5) and the reserve at 644%.
    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, July 4 (Leesahn 2) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!

  • May 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    May 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 193rd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. OpenUru
    2. Events in the Cavern
    3. D’ni Language Classes
    4. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    OpenUru

    ☛ Development on MahrnGestoy and Jalargura (Pod56) continues, but they will probably open later than the next update.

    ☛ The currently available area in Descent will likely change a bit when the new version will open, to accomodate for changed details, at least in the public version. Hood instances may be updated at a later time.

    The improved Descent will include elements from the DIRT demo, and the book in Chiso Preniv will link to the Cleft caldera, as previously seen in Myst V.

    ☛ Testers on the Minkata shards are asked not to post pictures from upcoming Ages. Many developers would prefer to keep the final version of their works a surprise, and locations may change quite a bit during development.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming Ages, check the Explorers Restoration Projects list.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ Skyisblu‘s Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    ☛ IwonK is taking a break from her Wonky Talks, to focus on her school assignments. She plans to get back to streaming sometime in July.

    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    She is also working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “Rivenium“, they are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

    ☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

    ☛ Babbel is on holiday, but has prepared a few of her Classical Music programs in advance, currently hosted by PodHopper. The next event will be on Monday 18 at 12:00 KIT, in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura. The theme for this month will be “Eleven“.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will gather in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on July 18 at 12:30 KIT. Because of the large gap between meetings, they will do something a little different: instead of voting on a single book, they will have three novellas:

    • “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson
    • “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang
    • “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi

    They will discuss all three, but attendees are welcome to read just the ones that grab their interest.

    ☛ Brooketh presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome,  regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.

    ☞ On the Open Cave shard, Ayohiker holds an analogous event every Monday at 14:00 KIT in the Ayohikers’ hood.

    ☛ Mystitech Productions’ The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, “EVAC“, premiered on April 25.

    ☛ The Age Expeditions are hosted on the Deep Island and the Open Cave shards by Korov’ev, every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. There’s also an (uncommented) Twitch stream.

    In the Open Cave, they concluded the first cycle, so they will start the Journeys again, beginning with Eder Gira & Kemo. Note that invites are not updated, and new ones have the same name, so if you have one you may want to delete it before participating, or you’ll have to guess which one is correct.

    In Deep Island, they will visit some of TikiBear‘s creations, then they will begin the Geologica ages, showcasing a location on Earth as it looked millions of years ago.

  • February 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    February 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 190th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. OpenUru
    2. Mysterium
    3. Events in the Cavern
    4. D’ni Language Classes
    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    OpenUru

    ☛ A new Age by Semjay is coming to Minkata Alpha, and hopefully will make it to MOULa by this year.

    ☛ Phase 1 of Descent is locked down fairly well and is just in the polishing stage now. Hopefully it too will be released by this year. The plan is to place a public Descent link in Chiso Preniv’s basement.

    ☛ Quite a few new non-linking books are coming to Chiso Preniv. Korov’ev has provided three lore documents, split into smaller chapter sized volumes. The Lara Documents will be added to a shelf provisionally named “Unverified Lineage”, as J.D. Barnes was never able to fully authenticate their validity. Any document that seems legit, but could not be plausibly verified, will be archived here in the future.

    The other two new volumes will be added in the now-called “Explorers’ Historical Retrospectives” (EHR) shelf: the first is A Journey without Ending, by Max, originally published on the old Guild of Messengers online magazine The Cavern Post. The second volume is The Restoration So Far, a series of retrospectives originally posted by Vidkid on the old Myst Online forums.

    ☛ Preafter, the Heritage Documents, and Activity in the Cavern, also in the EHR shelf, will be getting new covers that will hopefully make it easier to identify them.

    ☛ As chronicles like the Heritage Documents inevitably come with personal interpretations, Calum Traveler is also adding collections of primary sources, i.e. forum posts, starting with the Beneath forums. Once Tweek gets some time, he will also contribute backups of the old DRC forums.

    ☛ Standing signs, with artwork done by Tweek, will be put in place by various bookshelves for easier identification: the aforementioned “Unverified Lineage”, “Explorers Historical Retrospectives” and “Web Forum Archives”, along with “Linking Books”. When Serene and Tre’bivdil were moved over from the showcasing circle, some explorers had trouble finding them. The new standing signs should make it easier to find categories around the library.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The hotel booking link (not to be confused with a linking book) is now live.

    ☛ Submissions are still open for both shirt and pin designs. The deadline is closing soon, on February 27.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for February–March is “Sunrise“. Entries for the “Tradition” prompt for December–January were from Calum Traveler, Talashar, Belle and Redwoodrroad.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 20 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Bunny Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    She is also working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “Rivenium“, they are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

    ☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

    ☛ Babbel‘s classical music program will be on Monday 16 at 12:00 KIT, in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura. The theme will be “Olympics, Love & Carnival“.

    ☛ Prad gave an update on the revived Cavern Choir project. Participants are asked to be able to: 1) carry a tune, 2) sing along a demo track, 3) record a good quality audio track (microphone, headphone, a computer with a soundcard and a recording program).

    They selected three songs: “Happy Birthday” (four voices, traditional), “Ave Verum Corpus” by W.A. Mozart (four voices, classical) and “Only You” by Voces8/Flying Pickets (four voices, popular a cappella). Participants are asked to send their recording by March 8, as the plan is to perform at Seeker’s Christmas Country Special.

    If you are interested, or need assistance with recording, please contact Babbel (aka Babbeltje40, aka Vrouwdinges) or Prad (KI #08406189).

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will honor International Women’s Day with a selection of three novels written by women:

    Voting will be done in either the MOULa Events or the URU Community Movies and Games Discords. Voting for more than one book is fine, but please vote only on one server, not both.

    ☛ Brooketh presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome,  regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.

    ☞ On the Open Cave shard, Ayohiker holds an analogous event every Monday at 14:00 KIT in the Ayohikers’ hood. There are also two new games in the City of Dimensions: Tic-Tac-TOC and Connect Four.

    ☛ The Age Expeditions are hosted by Korov’ev every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. There’s also an (uncommented) Twitch stream. In Deep Island, this month they will visit the entries from the second Rapid Age Development Contest, all Ahra Pahts shells; after that, they will explore Whilyam‘s Ages. In the Open Cave, they will visit Ages added to MOULa in 2022: Elonin, Fahets Highgarden and Eder Naybree.

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Another student has started taking the classes.

    Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Evening openings are on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night are currently telling the stories from Myst: The Book of D’ni. There will be no story on Saturday 14, due to family obligations. Eventually they cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos.

    Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary.

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
    • For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
    • On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:30 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!

    December ended with the CavFunding at 82% (CavCon 2.8) and the reserve at 782%.

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, March 7, 2026 (Leevotahr 23) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!

    October 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 186th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Claidi announced that for various reasons she will need to step down from moderation after December. If you are interested in moderating the meetings after December, please get in contact via the Cyan Chat or MOULa Events Discord servers.

    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights
    6. Miscellanea

    OpenUru

    ☛ If you plan to participate to Hacktoberfest, the H’uru group on GitHub is offering a few issues tagged with “Hacktoberfest”, meant as good first projects for contributors (besides Plasma, there are also a few issues for Korman, PlasmaShop, Dirtsand and libHSPlasma). You can also contribute non-code, such as documentation or tutorials, and submit the link to Hacktoberfest rather than a pull request.

    ☛ Progress in ongoing on the East Wing expansion for the Ae’gura Messengers Pub; it is planned to become a proper conference room for Mysterium once finished.

    ☛ The first elevator from the top of the Descent Shaft to the Eder Tomahn is now fully functional. After the second elevator will be done, the main problem will be the floor elevator at the bottom of the Shaft.

    After that, past textural cleanups and other wirings, Descent will be pushed to Minkata Alpha for a new round of testing. Things will be broken past the elevators, but it will be a chance for suggesting visual changes.

    ☛ Pod 12 and the Reischu Apartment need a few more tweaks before they can be pushed to Minkata Prime.

    ☛ The Stage and the Meteor Shower event in Eder Naybree will finally be pushed forwards. Bot operators are asked to disable the “ExtcolBookVis” variable, since it enables links to yet unreleased Ages.

    ☛ Chiso Preniv, Kalamee and Explorers’ Emporium also have updates almost ready to be pushed to Minkata. A lot of fixes and additions for the upcoming quarter update were possible thanks to collaborations between creators, and we hope more will come.

    ☛ Typically the pipeline goes from Minkata Alpha (beta testing), to Minkata Prime (bug fixing), to MOUL Staging (final check on Cyan’s server software) and finally MOUL live. Note that MOUL Staging is a limited-access, temporary shard that affects the CavFunding; those with an account are asked to limit their access to specific testing purposes.

    ☛ The OpenUru and the Guild of Writers websites and repos were recently subject to AI scraper bot attacks. Hoikas and Rarified have done their best to block unauthorized accesses, but legitimate IP addresses may have been blocked inadvertently. If you’re a contributor and suddenly can’t log in, try contacting Rarified (OU) or Hoikas (GoW) through the usual forum/Discord channels.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for October is “Orange”. Entries for the “Round” prompt for September were from Jet and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ On Monday 6, Skyisblu shared the recipe of her chocolate zucchini cake, inspired by suggestions from August’s post-stream discussions.
    The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 17 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Swiss Games”. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    She is also working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “Rivenium“, they are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

    ☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

    ☛ Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 20 at 12:00 KIT. The theme for this month will be “Let the organ everywhere…“.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin. Due to traveling, the discussion is postponed to November 15 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    ☛ Brooketh briefly presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome,  regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe.

    ☛ The Cavern Tours are on hold until late 2026.

    ☛ The October Town Hall will be skipped.

    ☛ Calum Traveler does live Age building on Twitch on Mondays and Fridays, when there are no other events on schedule.

    Miscellanea

    ☛ This month, the Age Expeditions in Deep Island will visit Jo’nae Hood by Jonnee, including a restored version by SereneTiki, then they will tackle the puzzles of Takla Ma’kan, by the Huru.info group (not associated with the H’uru project). In the Open Cave, they will visit the last two pods of the Pod Age, then they will take the Fourth Journey in Minkata.

    That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!

    September ended with the CavFunding at 97% (CavCon 3) and the reserve at 636%.

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, November 1st (Leevofo 10) at 13:00 KIT. Note that daylight saving in the U.S.A. ends later than most other countries, so that will be 20:00 CET.

    ☛ Calum Traveler announced that Ami‘s crew work of surveying everything in Descent from 2024 again has been progressing nicely. Elevator work will be taken on by Ametist.

    ☛ A few assorted fixes and updates are planned for a release in the last quarter of this year, including a maintenance pass of Kalamee.

    Mysterium

    ☛ Calum Traveler shared some highlights from the survey:

    • The staff apologizes for canceling the Unconference, but factors related to the Georgia Aquarium excursion led to the decision. They do plan to include it, or a similar event, in future years.
    • Panels or presentations may not always be available every year, but they aim to balance activity and presentation content.
    • They plan to showcase local attractions or unique and interactive activities again in upcoming years; a Myst-inspired outdoor excursion will hopefully be included next year.

  • August 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    August 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 184th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. Guild of Messengers Website
    2. Mysterium
    3. Events in the Cavern
    4. D’ni Language Classes
    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights
    6. Miscellanea

    Guild of Messengers Website

    Korov’ev reported [a bit too soon, evidently] the loss of the Guild of Messengers news site, and addressed a few immediate repercussions:

    1. the community calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid; Bitly-based short URL versions are also available: US, EU, UK, RU, JP.
    2. Raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that) are available from Korov’ev’s Dropbox folder, but perhaps saving them in a wiki could be a better option.
    3. The tutorials about MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux are being imported into the Guild of Writers wiki; as an added benefit this will allow anyone to update and fix these tutorials, as they have fallen behind the latest developments.
    4. Rel.to admin login depended on the GoMe website, so the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable at this point.
    5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, etc. are in the most uncertain position at the moment; for now they’ll be posted in this subreddit.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The Mysterium 2025 (virtual) shirts are now available in the New Messengers Pub, so grab them while you can!

    ☛ The 2026 edition of Mysterium will be held in Portland, Oregon.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for August is “Bubbles”. Entries for the “End of Ages” prompt for July were from Calum Traveler and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.
    However, due to travel she will skip September’s session. In October, she will show a luscious chocolate cake recipe inspired by suggestions made during post-stream discussions.

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 15 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Hungarian Games”. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!
    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    ☛ Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 18 at 12:00 KIT. The theme for this month is yet to be announced.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on September 13 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    4. Events in the Shards
    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    OpenUru

    ☛ Rarified mentioned that OpenUru is 15 this year. They could use a hand helping with administration of the website: it requires some knowledge of the Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP stack, as well as forum and wiki upkeep. If you are interested, please contact Rarified on the OpenUru Discord server.

    ☛ Work on a unified client for the Minkata constallation of shards, rolling in all the improvements of the H’uru codebase, continues. They are at the stage of testing the client on a private testing server, to iron out any remaining issues. A major update to the MOSS server is also on the drawing board.

    ☛ Both the 2024 and 2025 Mysterium T-shirts should be added to the Ae’gura Messengers Pub later this year. The East Wing of the Ae’gura Messengers Pub is planned to be opened soon-ish.

    ☛ A Sameehn book should soon be added to the Chiso Preniv ring. Pod 12 is still scheduled for release later this year. There are plans to replace some of the harsher announcer lines for the Gahreesen Wall with other, more polite ones, as there have been some complaints over the years.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The schedule for Mysterium 2025 is live, and includes two excursions: on Friday, breakout rooms at Breakout Games, Atlanta/Buckhead; on Saturday, trip to the Georgia Aquarium.

    ☛ Deadlines: guaranteed hotel dates expire on July 9, while premium registration closes on June 16. Writing & Art Table submissions closes July 15.

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 11 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Non-human characters in Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

    ☛ PodHopper made three announcements: first, his new websites (podhopper.nl and hoppertunes.nl) are now up and running; if you visit the old ones you will be automatically redirected.
    Second, for this year’s Summer Festival, planned for the week of August 4–10, he would like to showcase activities and events in the Cavern, but also the work involved in how new Ages make it into MOULa. He is asking creators if they would like to contribute a short video about the work they are doing, like Age building and testing. The resulting videos will be presented using a Twitch stream he will set up for the occasion.
    Third, he is also planning a Cone Race event for the Festival, but at the time of writing is just a possibility. The Festival schedule has not been nailed down yet, as soon as it will PodHopper will make it available.

    Events in the Shards

    ☛ Korov’ev reminded the Fan Age Expeditions attendees that the fourth cycle will alternate between Deep Island and The Open Cave (MOUL). In TOS, they will also visit Cyan’s Ages, trying to see them from perspectives a single explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).
    The expeditions are held every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. July 6 and 20 will be in The Open Cave; July 13 and 27 will be in Deep Island. In TOC they will gather in the “Fan Ages Touring Club” Hood. Attendees will get Nexus invites to the particular Age they are exploring, as a sort of ‘public’ instance of that Age.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

    6. Miscellanea

    OpenUru

    ☛ The fourth Rapid Age Development contest will start on February 8 and run until March 8. The theme will be a Pod Age; participants will be assigned a basic pod shell file (for Blender or 3ds Max). Entries will not need to be MOULa-ready, but at least working on the Destiny shard.

    The only canon guideline is that if you set your pod on the Pod Age, you cannot include a moon. While it is not known with certainty that the Age has no moons at all, no pod set on it shows one.

    As with previous editions, the intention is to encourage potential builders with a challenge with specific limits in size and time. Tre’bivdil and the Vothol Gallery were originally built for similar contests. It will be up to each builder if and on which shards to submit these Ages for release.

    ☛ A couple of Ages are on Minkata Alpha for the first round of debugging: Rei’schu Vo’at Veknen (formerly the Rei’schu Apartment) by Calum Traveler and Sameehn by Ametist. If all goes well, they may be released on MOULa sometime in the first half of the year!

The first Celtic Night event will be held on Friday 14 in the Guild of Healers hood’s Eder Delin at 13:00 KIT. (same day as Dah’mpa Waves but earlier, so the two events will not clash).

    ☛ Nosila will organize this year’s International Women’s Day, on March 8. Anyone with ideas for events, or interested in being involved in any way, is welcome to get in touch either via KImail (#8961365) or the IWD Discord server.

    ☛ Augur is starting a speculative fiction book club. Meetings will be held in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on the third Saturday of every other month (so March 15, May 17, July 19, September 20, and November 15) at 12:30 KIT.
